9. Once the map is saved to the hard drive then you will need to go to our website www.magellangps.com and under Maps and Software download open up the MapSend Litewww.magellangps.com=" products=" map.asp?tab="0&PRODID=1717"> application.

12. The MapSend Lite program will begin its search and find eXplorist compatible maps. These are .imi files and you will see the maps like the image below. Select the map you want and click “Copy to My GPS" ( which is actually a ‘My GPS Folder' on your PC and files have to be saved there first for ID verification ).

13. Once you have saved the map files from local C: disk to MapSend Lite you then need to go back under “GPS Contents", “File Manager" and select “Transfer Data to GPS Unit or SD Programmer" as seen below.
